No better point In the t'nlted States Bt ivhich to establish new Industries.

A gallant soldier, a modest citizen and Bn attentive servant of the people when entrusted with otliclal responsibilities these words well describe Captain Will lam Kellow. In his death the city sus tains a real loss. A New Cure for Strikes. In the Social Economist for March appears a somewhat novel study of the Strike problem. In two pages of prefa tory remarks, the dangers of strikes to the public welfare are outlined, and the principle of the absolute equality before the law of organizations of both labor tind capital is enunciated. Then we tome to the article's novelty. Recog nizing that the interests and therefore the rights of the public are greater than those of either laborers or capitalists, the author believes consequently that their conduct must be subordinate to the Interests and decisions of society. In order to bring this about he would require both laborers and capitalists. In the event of arising differences, to treat each with the other by means of delegates, and 'would ordain "that If any strike or public disturbance results from the refusal of either patty to recognize the rights of the other so to act collectively through their represen tatives, the party so refusing shall be held responsible for all costs and dam ages to the full extent of their prop erty." In order to facilitate this Intercom munication between capitalists and la borers, the author suggests that In ad dition to the two classes of organiza tions now in vogue, Including the work ers, on the one hand, and the owners and managers of capital on the other, there be tried the experiment of a third, or mutual union, to be com posed of an equal number of representa tives of both employers and laborers In the Industry or district represented. Before a change In wages or conditions be demanded In any shop, the subject Is to be referred to this bi-partisan In dustrial senate, whose decision would, the author fondly believes, prevent a rupture nine times out of ten. It would, .he adds, bring about a better under standing between employers and em ploye, tend to check the growth of pas sion and to promote that of reason, and lead by quick stages to a more har monious relationship all around, there by gradually doing away with both tho cause and the costly effect of the strike as a class weapon. The foregoing are the salient features of an Interesting, but unfortunately anonymous article. Its author, we fear, Is too Idealistic. He does not appear to make proper allowance for the fact that the Inequality at present existing be tween employers and employes In the large Industries has not been caused altogether by the former class, In a wanton spirit of heartlessness; but that rot a little of It has been due to the manipulation of the latter by cunning men who, after planting the seeds of unrest among them, have carefully forced Us growth until It has landed these men, otherwise known as aglta tors, tree-high In well-salaried positions of Influential command. There Is, be tween employers and agitators, a na tural and apparently an Irreconcilable conflict, which, If It did not prevent the (practical realization of our author's neatly planned Industrial senate, would probably soon turn that senate Into forum of worse than Popullstlo blat- ancy and demagoglo Jargon. The Harrlsburg Patriot Is Inclined to agree with us that the hanging of murderers does not deter men from committing other murders. It remarks "An examination of statistics of homl' rides in the United States for some years past Is somewhat startling. In S88t there were 1,449 murders and homl tides and eighty-three legal executions. In 1887 there were 2,335.murdersfand homi cides and only seventy-nine legal exe cutlons. Since that year the number . of killings has steadily Increased until last year they numbered more than 8,000, while there were 123 legal execu tions. In other , words murders and homicide In nine years Increased 600 per cent., while In the same period exe cutlons Increased only, 1C0 per cent." If capital punishment acted as a check to the commission of the crime of mur der, we should have nothing to Bay against it. We do not care one rap of a penknife what becomes of the de liberate murderer, provided he be dis posed of so us not to Imperil society. The trouble with capital punishment Is that the figures are all against it. It gets rid of one murderer only to find that two have sprung up In his stead. There Is every reason to believe that General Hastings, as governor of Penn sylvania, will continue to study tho interests and tho welfare of the whole commonwealth Independent of faction or without reference to the probable effect of such a straightforward course upon the next nutlonul nominating con vention. Curb thj Spitting; Hog. An Indignant Philadelphia physician, offended by the aggressions, In street cors and other public places, of thut peculiar American growth, the splttlni; blpedul hog, writes an open letter to ono of the newspapers In that city which is equally as applicable to Scran- ton. "Tho trouble is," he truly declares, thut In muklng rules corporations omit to prescribe penalties or to en force them or to Insist upon thelr of ficers enforcing them. What is the use of having u plucurd in a car prohibiting a habit thut no self-respecting or re fined pereon would think of doing with out giving the employes powers to en force It? A publlo conveyance is the only place where people ure absolutely at the mercy und discretion of every other person, and the rules governing their conduct ought to be absolute) und Instantly und absolutely enforced. To be quietly and firmly enjoined to va cate a car would do more In the way of an object lesson to convince very many people that the highest kind of liberty Is that which Includes a consideration of other people's convenience and Belf respect that a dozen moral lectures on the subject. If a man expectorates once, as some may do, through thought lessness, let the conductor reprimand him quietly but firmly. If the offense Is repeated or If the passenger Is offen sive, stop the car und request the pas senger to step off. If he Is still of fensive and makes a scene, let there be such u penalty Inflicted as' will fully satisfy the slight to the officer of the company and the offended dignity of the passengers." To all of which, a much abused public is prepared to ac cord its enthusiustlc consent. There is too much of the spltter abroad. The doxology, we fear, wasn't half emphatic enough to express the emo tion of those who witnessed the ad journment of congress. Why Not Unite? The varied uses of electricity, the es tablishment and success of the corre sponding schools, the publication of such a Journal as the Colliery Engineer, and the various new manufacturing establishments in this city, are colling among us a large and constantly in creasing number of scientific men, and awakening among our citizens gener ally an interest in scientific matters. Science Is a subject of conversation in olllce, store, workshop, home, school, and on the street. The advantage of living in the midst of the great anthra cite Held affords an opportunity for re search in certain paleontologlcal lines such as probably Is not to be found anywhere else on earth. Tho great Lacoe collection of coal plants, now the property of the Na tional Museum at Washington, is un doubtedly the most extensive and valu able of the kind In existence, and it has been accumulated In this very coal field. Why should . not the scientific men of Scran ton and viulnlty, under the stimulus of this Incentive, form them selves Into an academy of wlen.ee, and work together for the advance ment of tho various lines of physical and natural science in which they may be Interested? If our columns can be used to advance any effort toward the establishment of such an organization, they are at tho service of persons thus Interested. Marked Improvement In the street cleaning department will probably not prevail In this city so long oh the Inade quate funds at the disposal of that de partment are apportioned out under the ward-grab system. Hut even so, the street commissioner ought to pre sent more sustained and convincing evidence than at present that he Is alive and active. An Interesting Temperance Bill. The passage by the Indiana assembly, by a vote of 75 to 20, of the Nicholson temperance bill Is a circumstance worth keeping In mind. That bill provides that a majority petition agnlnst a saloon In a certain community will prevent one being established there for two years. It also provides against music In sa loons. A saloon cannot be run In con nectlon with any other business, a di rect blow at the restnurnnt with b.ir attachment. The bill likewise, does away with screens, and all snhiins must be operated on the first floor, a provision to knock out wine rooms. The loglo of the bill Is obvious. Under the high license idea, saloons are li cenced by the state because they are necessities. That Is, they are requisite to the quenching of a thirst which, If not appeased In accordance with law, would violate law In order to obtain alcoholic drink, This Is' the theory of high license. The Indiana assembly, In passing the foregoing restrictive meas ure, simply says that If saloons be necessities, they should be operated as such, and not transformed into !nar urles. If the business Is strictly leglil male and wholesome, it ought to br conducted cpnly and above board, with the screen dtors all discarded, the free lunch bait thrown out and the concert hall feature cancelled. Then men who are thirsty can get drink and be done with It by paying the flat price. This view Is not wanting In common sense. If one accepts the lleense Idea at all; that Is to Buy, if one concedes, at any point In the argument, that saloons are essential to the welfare of the community and that the state may usurp and sub-louse the monopoly of the saloon business, then there is in stantly much to be said in favor of putting that business on precisely the same footing, before the community, oc cupied by the music business, the gro cery business, the clothing business or any other legalized form of commercial enterprise. Take down the screens, re move the paint from the windows and let In the light of day. That ought not to hurt a proper business; it ought rather to help it. A new grievance hns been formulated agutnst tho American newspapers by that unliable, but somewhat flnnica! critic, George W. Smalley. He com plains that the newspapers do not use the title "Mr." before proper names. There seems," he says, "to be a theory that if you give u man's Christian name and the Initial of his middle name, you ure dispensed, at least in print, from the ordinury obligations of civility. How would it unswer in private life, or what would be thought if a struuger or ac quaintance walked up to Mr. Choate und said: 'How do you do, Joseph H. Cliuate'." Yet ure the obligations of ci vility less in print than in private?" Hut, Just fancy the "civility" of "mis tering" Joseph II. Choate on the same puge, or perchance in the same column with "Mr." James J. Corbett or "Mr." Ciewhllllkliis Jones. The Philadelphia Times intimates that recent fires In this city Indicate Inefficiency and indifference on the part of the Scranton volunteer lire depart ment. We do not concur in this opin ion. A volunteer service Is under no circumstances so good as a good paid service; und .that is why we want a paid service for Scranton. BJut it would be a ioor return to the volunteer fire men of Scranton, for all that they have so generously done, to accuse them of Indifference. The assertion of the state chemist that It was really the Meadvllle editor who was fooled by that "oleo" trick will be taken by most persons with a liberal handful of salt. The streets of Scranton cannot be cleaned too soon nor too thoroughly. Unless this shall be done, disease and an Increased mortality rate are almost sure to come upon us. Senator Quay's visit to Harrlsburg to day will be worth alljof'a dollar und a half to the hotel proprietors and Bpace rate correspondents of the Sleepy City. The Rump parliament of Cromwell was a sustained feast of reason com pared with the Hurl Kail congress which died at noon yesterday. Mr. Matt has declared his strike against Mayor Strong "off," without having forced the mayor to arbitrate. The reign of Orover will Boon be over. Thanks! thanks!! thanks!!! LEGISLATIVE TOPICS. Some Political Uosslp Now Current in and About Harrlsburg. Harrlsbunr. March 4. The report that there mlijht be opposition to State Chair man Ollkesim at the organization of tho stnto Republican committee prior to next fall's state treamirershlp campaign Is not generally credited here. The present ex ecutive ollloers will, it is believed, be re elected without exception; and there Is equally little doubt thut the next Republi can nomlneo for state treusurer, will be Senator Quay's warm friend nnd lieuten ant, Meiijamln K. Haywood. of Mercer, Col onel Jackson's cashier. Mr. Haywood Is un exceedingly courteous and popular of ficial, characteristics which were noticed by his friends several years ago, when he li.i tho party ticket In his homo county, while a candidate for prothonotary. He Is iilso a financier of signal skill und unques tioned Integrity. Hastings and the Presidency. There Is considerable quiet talk In and About tho capital as to the likelihood that Governor Hastings may blossom forth as a presidential candltdate. The comuient Is generally favorable; and those who aro especially outspoken In the governor's be half point 'to the coincidence that at no previous nutlonul convention of tho Re publican party whero as many na three avowed candidates of International re nown started In with determined follow ing has any of them been nominated. The conventions which resulted in the nomination of Hayes und Garfield Instant ly occur to mind, ami these; are cited as tilllclent to Justify tho belief that Penn sylvania, with Its phenomenal majority of last fall, may yet supply the next presi dent. The governor. It Is understood, whllo not worrying' nbotit this contln goncy. Is naturally not displeased that his numo should attract favorable comment In connection with an office to which any cltlxcn may with pride aspire, Not a I net lonullst. The one thing that he objects to. In this connection, according to those to whom ho ha communicated on the subject, Is that his namo should be no promiscuously bandied about In stories concerning al leged factional combines and deals. Gov ernor Hustings Is said by thoso who know him best lo wish to be, not a Martin Re publican nor a Quay Republican, as these words are now frequently used; but he does wish "to be known an a Republican Republican, desirous of doing his entire duty, first to the commonwealth, by which tie has been summoned to publlo olllce; and next, after that, to the whole party which elected hlin by the largest popular plurullty In the history of Ameri can stale elections. If the carrying out of this illgnltled programme should make a president of him, well anil good; If not, he would be none the worse off. . Senator Oiiny" Visit. All kinds of gossip are current with ref erence to Hena-tor Quay's visit, tomorrow. It Is generally safe to discount these ru mors Ml per cent., nnd then be suspicious of the remainder. The senator has a num ber of things to look after, wholly apart from his exaggerated break with lavld Martin. Now that congress has adjourned, ho Is free to pick tip the threads of polit ical leadership In state affaire, and these, lust now, are both numerous and tangled. Tho Philadelphia situation will probably not be neglected; but It Is a safe'guesa that the senator's handiwork In that direction will not be exposed to the multitude. As for Quay county, he Is positively taking no hanci In that. The legislature will be expected to pass or rejoot the Kline bill strictly on Its merits. i It Is Their Own Affair. From the Philadelphia Press. There Is no particular demand for new counties In Pennsylvania, but if the peo ple In the southern part of Luzerne and the northern part of Schuylkill want to enjoy the dignity of a new county, and are willing to be taxed to build a court house and Jail, uml to support an equipment of county olttctals within a narrower terri tory than at the preseut time, it appears to be a mutter of much concern to those re siding In portions of tho two counties not to be Included In the new organization. It will coat a good deal of money to get the new county started, and a good deal to keep It going after It Is started, but none of It will have to be paid by 'those who are left outside Its limits.
